Tragedy Strikes: Suicide Bomber Targets Army School Bus in Balochistan

In a tragic incident, a suicide bomber attacked a school bus in Balochistan, Pakistan, killing at least four children, according to local officials.

The bus, carrying around 40 students to an army-run school, was en route to an army cantonment when it was targeted, Khuzdar district administrator Yasir Iqbal confirmed.

Balochistan, although rich in mining resources, has long been troubled by insurgency. The attack bears a chilling resemblance to the 2014 Peshawar school massacre. As of now, no group has claimed responsibility for this latest violent act.
